Pros

- Best training/onboarding and benefits I've seen in the industry - Autonomy when it comes to work/life balance and your working location. HubSpot knows when you are showing results, you don't need to micromanage - Willing to hire non-SaaS salespeople for their sales roles. As someone who broke into SaaS sales with HubSpot, I will forever be in their debt as it is extremely difficult to break into software if you don't have a background in it. If you are coachable and can work in their environment, they will see your potential.

Cons

- Base pay is relatively low compared to their peers - The process of securing and keeping sales leads can be a bit dog-eat-dog, causing infighting among segments. - Some of the messaging can be too politically motivated, bordering on performative.

Thanks for the feedback and for being a HubSpot alum. Good to know we are walking the walk on autonomy, so thanks for calling that out. On lead friction I was under the impression that had improved, but will continue to check in with our teams on the ground on it, so thanks for calling it out. -Katie

Pros

By almost any measure, HubSpot is an excellent place to work. - Incredibly smart and kind coworkers - Internal culture aligns with the culture code (HubSpot walks the walk) - Lots of cool things to work on - Awesome developer tooling, some really nice stuff that I wish other jobs had - Everything on the front-end is moving to Typescript - Interesting technical presentations and discussions happening each week - Free book every month (separate from your stipend

Cons

This is all front-end specific since that's where I work. HubSpot made some questionable decisions on how their javascript dependencies are bundled/published internally. This means normal JS tooling does not work. If you develop for the front-end, you are forced to use VSCode and a HubSpot-specific plugin to get autocompletion, intellisense, debugging etc. - no live/hot reloading of any kind - no async/await - no option chaining `thing?.nested?.someKey` - can't use your preferred editor

Thanks for being a Senior SWE with us and for the detailed write-up--I think the cons are actually helpful in their specificity for folks considering a technical role, so thanks for sharing that. On remote, I think that's fair feedback--our culture of autonomy makes it hard for our team to push on things like this, but I am hopeful with the combination of remote meetups and a bunch of the hybrid toolkits our team has put together that this gets meaningfully better with some help. Appreciate your feedback here! -Katie
